Mets 2024 Season

I admit I felt a little down after last night’s drubbing. However, I saw people acting like it was over. No way man. This team won’t be dead until they lose 4 games in the Series. They aren’t perfect but they are a good show and are a very dangerous team.Nothing seems to phase them.
 
It's funny. A lot of us were saying to sign Alvarez to the big extension, but Vientos is really the no brainer!

He's 25 in December, not a free agent until 2030 and hits arbitration next year. Make it happen Stearns

Sign them both! Get Alvarez at a lower value now. The Braves do this so well. I have no concerns with either guy.

The last kid we locked up early was Lagares and we missed on that😂

He was great in the field....looked like a sure thing early his second season when he it like .280. He wasn't bad later, but didn't live up to the trajectory many saw for him. The deal wasn't really that bad at all and we had a buyout, which we exercised.

The Braves are masters at signing talented kids early. And they usually don't bid on their own players later.

Why were Nimmo and Wheeler not locked up long ago? Same with Jake...we could had him for relatively little.

DeGrom was the one Met we did sign to avoid two years of arbitration, but in true Mets fashion, that discount somehow ended up making him sour on our organization.

But years late. You have to get them year 1 or 2 like the Braves to have leverage.

Braves had Harris signed his rookie year. It felt like weeks after his debut.

Let’s get Vientos and Alvarez done now.
 
Matt will get injured. 😇

Darryl Strawberry will throw out the Ceremonial First Pitch to Dwight Gooden for Game 3 tomorrow.

Robin Ventura will throw out the Ceremonial First Pitch to Edgardo Alfonzo in Game 4.

Interesting choices here. One guy who “overslept” for a playoff workout and the other who quit in the middle of a season. Water under the bridge I guess.
 
would love to see McNeil in the lineup today. Iglesias has fallen off a cliff and I am tired of watching him whiff at pitches 12 feet outside. Give him a rest

McNeil has been a Met since 2018, I think it would mean a lot to him to get to start one of these home games. And when he is at his best at the plate he can be very useful as a contact hitter. If he is healthy enough I would play him tonight
